As many of you know I HATE packing and generally leave it to the last minute always packing too much and being convinced I've forgotten something vitally important.I've just done my packing for the annual festival I work at and I seem to have too much room in my case. This may be because I've forgotten something or because I did the 'rolling' method for packing.

In the case in the above picture...(the chair is in the pic to give an idea of size!)

In a separate bagWaterproof coatNormal wellies SandalsM's short welliesMy daily rucksack will have my laptop and charger, phone charger, waterproof trousers, notebook etc. And there is also my sleeping bag.I'll be wearing jeans, top, hoodie, 'work' boots and have my waterproof coat with me.I tend to go on the layering principal so at the start of the day it's normally strappy top, t-shirt, jumper, jacket and as I warm up the layers come off, going back on as the day cools down again. I don't know about you but my legs feel the cold a lot less than the rest of me so a combination of 'long' shorts and knee high socks does me fine as will leggings or my long skirt/dress.I normally always overpack but when you don't know what the weather will be like you have to consider the fact that you could get drenched several days in a row!!I'll do a list when I get back of what actually got worn!!

I did buy a floaty tunic, this years festival t-shirt, a festival vest top, a linen floaty top and a pair of harem pants. I wore the vest top on the last day so that explains why the last strappy top didn't get worn!! There were also a lot of pairs of socks that didn't get warm as it was sandal weather a lot of the time and I DO NOT do socks and sandals!!

Overall I was pretty pleased with the levels of what got worn and what didn't. Had it been cooler/wetter then I think the other bits would have been worn.
